It’s a very rare occasion that I come out of the cinema inspired and in love with the movie I just saw. I think the last time it happened was Amelie, way back when.
I went and saw Every Little Step tonight at Dendy Opera Quays. Every Little Step is a documentary that follows the casting of the 2006 Broadway revival ofA Chorus Line. The film also takes you through the creative process that Michael Bennett went through to get A Chorus Line on to the stage.
Firstly, I never really thought about how brilliant a concept A Chorus Line is. The show is incredibly touching (albeit a little dated now), and captures the essence of struggling actors/singers/dancers trying to make a living out of performance. I never realised that all of the stories in A Chorus Line are based on real stories from a group interview that Michael Bennett held when he thought of the show.
I highly recommend any performers, anyone trying to make a living out of their passion, or anyone interested in a touching, honest documentary to get to theDendy at Opera Quays or Academy at Paddington and see this film before it closes.
Hell, it even made me tear up at one point.
